1) the .sof and .pof files are device programming files so they contain your actual hardware. too me it sounds like your are confusing your software and hardware files[/b]

truth be told, i don't know much of all this, because i'm really really new in this world ... but i'll do all the steps to download the files again.
i am confused more with the ports really, because in the board i have 2 ports - byteblaster ii and mv - and it seems to be the mv that i should upload the software, and not the ii as it looks like ... go figure ...
<!--quotebegin-badomen@Jun 3 2005, 11:16 AM 4) if you do not have a license for nios ii or use any open core altera ip, quartus ii compiles a sof that is time limited. this is meant to give you an evaluation copy of the ip so that you can try it out before purchasing it. when you download a time limited sof a window will open saying something like "leave the jtag cable connected or this sof will time out". --- Quote End --- Yes, I got a message in the upload, but I dont remember what was it ... --- Quote Start --- originally posted by badomen@Jun 3 2005, 11:16 AM i hope that helps. --- Quote End --- Any help is welcome http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif New question - to get the shell working, wich port I use ? ByteBlaster II or MV ?
